Episode 3: The Misfit

The Misfit celebrates the unique characters who defied comic stereotypes and societal expectations to reflect America’s diverse personalities.

"We strive all our lives as writers, artists, actors, to connect with other people through what we do. TV at its best connects with you directly, personally, because it's a small box in your house, maybe even in your room. Maybe next to your bed. There is no more intimate connection that you have with anything other than the people next to you. But the TV, because of its size and because of the smaller nature of the stories that are being told for the small screen actually get in a little deeper sometimes." - PHIL ROSENTHAL, Writer, Everybody Loves Raymond
